Abstract

Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) regional wave model 7-day output with a 5-day hourly forecast for the Hawaiian island of Oahu at approximately 500-m resolution. This high-resolution model is utilized to capture shallow water effects and nearshore coastal dynamics such as refracting, shoaling, and smaller scale shadowing. It is run directly after the Hawaii regional WaveWatch III (WW3) wave model has completed. Please note that this nested model setup is in the testing and validation phase. While considerable effort has beenmade to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. As such, please use these data with the caution appropriate for any ocean related activity.The data is not intended for legal use, since it may contain inaccuracies.

Description

We have made some examples, where we use Swan data from our Datahub to compare it with different model datasets we have, go and get it from our GitHub: https://github.com/planet-os/notebooks/blob/master/api-examples/model-comparisons.ipynb and https://github.com/planet-os/notebooks/blob/master/api-examples/swan-oahu-api.ipynb
